The primary purpose of the spring and summer grassroots basketball scene is for players to get the attention of college coaches who are in attendance for the various events. What ends up happening along the way is the players also talk to the reporters for the recruiting services.
That’s what happened recently in Virginia when Rivals’ Eric Bossi caught up with Jeenathan Williams. The New York State product is ranked #145 in the country according to 247 Sports’ Composite system, but #107 according to Rivals, so you can see why Bossi wants to talk to the 6’5” wing.
